                                         LIVE ROCK CRITIC   48


                                                        




Stephen Colbert on Late Night is not quite as funny as he used to be
with the most terrible band, Staying Human, Jean Baptiste's band.

Voltek joined Jean and the band adding an incomprehensible layer of mystification, I wonder what they were doing. Was this some "in" joke that I don't know about? 

Boots Cure. OK. This is an artsy dischordinate start which will morph and meld into melody. No. That did not happen. Same metallic dischordinate electronic annoying repetitive with bad sounds mumbling I am so cool. No. Godawful. 


Celo Green performed with Staying Human. Celo is a good example of a multi voiced artist who can  belt out tunes right on key. 

I viewed a number of Stephen Colbert's Late |Night shows and one of the funniest moments was the look on Bill Mahr's face when he heard Staying Human.

Forty or so Late Nights in the DVR, but I did not find that the episodes were very entertaining. At the beginning of each program and at around the twenty five minute mark Stephen Colbert will deliver some John Stewart style Political Satire. Trevor Noah on the new Daily Show is every bit as good as Colbert, and maybe even John Stewart. Trevor Noah does the best voice impersonations. 

Public Image Ltd. The lead shouter is ridiculous. Drums driving hard. Nice sparky guitar. I can't tell, the red with bookmarked gold flame grain looks just like a Les Paul Gibson guitar. Very symphonic very much in tune. Could the guitar be a Paul Reed Smith. 

I do not like the movie star conversations which go on forever it seems. Celebrities talk with Steve about nothing. I will continue to record Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Will I watch the episodes?


Live Rock Critic 48 with Drunky Cocamo, official Live Rock Critic

First of all, I did not host Stephen Harper and Patris Magnus at Drunkycocomovision, nor was the performance which they created at Drunkycocomovision studios in any way authorized. They broke in. 

Saturday Night Live is traditionally a source of Live Rock Critic material. The critic would view live performance on SNL and post.
Donald Trump is performing as host tonight. What a perfect opportunity as another bombastic loudmouthed extrovert who thinks he knows everything does his usual thing, spouting off.

I would like to concentrate on Donald Trump dancing and singing as Drake would. It is no secret that I think that Drake is a Dork. Donald dances well, very fluid, very old school white guy, just like Drake. It just dawned on me, that is why Drake is so popular in Canada. A white in black's clothing. He has a fashion line. 

University of British Columbia students out wimped and out white-  guyed both Donald and Drake. ( Really, you should go to youtube and try to find the video which the geeks on CBC played and replayed.The two wimpy white guys in the white sweaters, pathetic. A very large number of UBC students posted videos where they  mimed and minced their way through " ...... my cell phone". Cannot anyone come up with a cooler name for mobile phones than the ancient "cell phone"?
